Get providers road-ready faster: Replace lengthy email chains and scattered documents with one streamlined form that guides applicants through every requirement. New providers can complete the entire onboarding process from their phone in under 10 minutes.

Ensure compliance and safety: Collect mandatory background check consents, insurance verification, and vehicle inspection photos all in one place. Conditional logic ensures providers only see relevant questions based on their service type.

Smart routing and scheduling: Service area selection and availability fields help you match providers with high-demand zones and peak earning hours from day one.

Take it further with Paperform's platform

This template is just the starting point. With Paperform, you can:

Automate your approval workflow with Stepper: Once a provider submits their application, use Stepper to automatically run background checks through your screening service API, send welcome packets via email, create profiles in your provider database, and notify your ops team when someone's ready to activate. No manual copy-pasting between systems.

Collect payments for onboarding fees: If you charge for background checks, equipment deposits, or starter kits, add Paperform's native payment fields to collect fees via Stripe, PayPal, or Square right in the onboarding flow.

Send contracts for eSignature with Papersign: After approval, use Papersign to automatically generate and send your independent contractor agreement for secure eSignature. Keep everything linked back to the original application for a complete audit trail.

Sync with your tech stack: Push new provider data directly into your CRM, Airtable base, Google Sheets, or internal dashboard using native integrations or Stepper workflows. Update Slack when high-priority providers complete onboarding in desirable service areas.
